Not sure how to start making proficiency a focus in your Spanish classes? Start here with this bundle of Spanish Jobs and Employment Proficiency-Building Activities! Speaking, Writing and Listening are scaffolded and pre-differentiated with activities that stay with a familiar theme, Jobs and Employment  The scaffolds and familiar theme help students find the courage they need to fully participate and truly build skills! Interpersonal Listening, Speaking and Presentational Writing Activities are all included!

Guided Conversations: 

Guided Convos provide a scenario about a familiar topic and an outline for students to use to keep the conversation going.   Students work with a partner and choose the role of Person A or Person B. They can trade roles, trade partners, or even do the same exact conversation again!  They never turn out the same way!  Students report feeling much more confident and able to keep conversations going after practicing a few times! 

These conversations have 2 different versions for Present Tense and 2 different versions for students who are ready to communicate in Future and Past time frames. 

Integrated Listening & Speaking: 

ILS activities are done alone.  Students will listen to a recording, and be given instructions for how to respond.  They might hear: “Tell me about….” Or “Ask me questions about…” .  These activities mimic the speaking/listening portion of many popular Seal of Biliteracy Tests.  

There is a pre-made student activity that requires no language lab!  If you have a language lab or some other kind of recording software, the teacher script will allow you to record the audio for students if you desire.

There are 2 activities in this resource, each with 5 prompts.  They are designed so that the first activity is a bit easier and the 2nd one  a bit more challenging.  Use with different levels or at the beginning and end of a unit! 

✍️Scenario Task Cards:

Scenario Task Cards are my go-to for lots of things!  I display one at the beginning of every class and ask students to take turns talking about the scenario.   But I also use them as a lesson plan for a class activity!  I have students change partners and have them tell a story about 5 times in a row, each time with a new scenario and a new partner.  Then students switch roles.  Listeners become the speakers.  Finally, sometimes I print the scenarios and ask students to write about them in class or for homework!

My favourite game to practice German verb conjugations (schwache, starke, trennbare, reflexive, Misch-, Modalverben, Verben auf -eln und -ern**.** It can be used in any tense. No prep, just PRINT AND GO.

This is my go-to game when I need to drill some grammar into my students. It's by far the most efficient grammar game. I love it because it's so easy to use. And my students love it because it doesn't feel like learning when, in fact, they do a TON of learning. We can easily spend the whole lesson playing battleship and they want to keep on playing even after the bell rings.

It's also a great activity for substitute lessons or when I'm in a time press and don't have much time to prepare for a lesson.

How to play:

• It can be played in pairs or in small teams
• Hide your ships in the left field. They mustn't touch.
• Form sentences in order to "hit" the enemy ships in the right field.
• If your enemy hits your ship, indicate that in the left field. If you hit your enemy's ship, mark it down in the right field. If you miss, mark it down as well. If you hit your enemy's ship, have another go.
• To win, sink all of your enemy's ships before he sinks yours.

Contains:

• detailed instructions + picture instructions
• 9 battleship sheets, each covering different grammar
• each sheet contains simplified instructions

The 9 sheets focus on:

1. schwache Verben - weak verbs
2. starke Verben - strong verbs
3. Verben auf -eln und -ern - verbs ending in -eln and -ern
4. trennbare Verben - separable verbs
5. reflexive Verben mit Akkusativ - reflexive verbs accusative
6. reflexive Verben mit Dativ - reflexive verbs dativ
7. Modalverben + wissen - modal verbs and the verb wissen
8. Mischverben - mixed verbs
9. and as a BONUS ein und kein im Akkusativ - ein and kein in accusative

Looking for a new way to drill French pronouns? This resource includes 50 sentences to improve listening and speaking skills when using direct and indirect object pronouns and the adverbial pronouns Y and EN. Check out the preview to take a closer look.

Some negation and double pronouns are used, and this activity includes the following tenses:

• present tense
• passé composé
• futur proche
• imperative

This is a 24 minute MP3 audio recording of 50 sentences to be restated or written by your students using a pronoun or double pronouns. Each sentence is read twice before time is given for student responses, then the answer is given. You will appreciate the differences in the voices used in this recording. There are three different voices, all native speakers.

I've included five different ways that you can use this pronoun audio drill (see below). Suitable for core, immersion and homeschool curriculums. This drill is fantastic practice for the AP exam.

This resource is included in my advanced French growing bundle.

What's included?

• MP3 recording audio drill - 50 sentences - 24 minutes
• 5 ways to use this audio drill
• Transcript
• Answer key
• Student response sheet

1. Language lab or classroom listening and speaking exercise

Students listen to the drill either as a class or with individual headphones on. They will hear a sentence read twice by two different speakers. The number of pronouns to be used in each sentence is indicated in the recording. After the second reading of the sentence students are given time to say their answer before the correct response is pronounced. The sentences are purposefully not numbered in the recording so that you can choose to do them either in or out of order. This is a listening and speaking grammar drill and writing the answers is not necessarily encouraged.

2. Language lab or classroom silent written exercise

Provide each student with a numbered answer recording sheet. Students should be reminded to pay close attention as the sentences in the recording are NOT numbered. The sentences that are read in the recording are written on the student response sheet and words to be replaced by pronouns are underlined. Since this is a fast moving exercise you may want to give students a chance to revise their answers once the recording has stopped.

3. Whiteboard classroom activity - Individual or paired work

Have students write sentences using pronouns on whiteboards after they’ve heard the sentence spoken twice. Pause the recording and give students time to write their answers. When they’ve finished have them listen carefully and check their work when you stop pause and play the answer. This works particularly well with pairs of students because they can help each other and the work won’t seem so tedious. I often allow my pairs of students to keep track of one point per correct answer and at the end of the activity see which group has the most points.

4. Bell ringer activity

You have and extra five or ten minutes at the beginning or end of class, why not play a few minutes of the pronoun drill? With 50 sentences to choose from you could keep it quite varied.

5. Group writing game

Chances are you have your students’ desks in some kind of rows or groups. Here’s a fun way to change up the pronoun drill a bit. Let’s say you have rows or groups of five students. Before starting the drill recording give the first person in each group a blank sheet of paper and he should have something to write with.

Number the paper 1 - 5 (or the number of students in the group) and as you play the drill the first student has to write his answer next to #1. He has to write something even if he doesn’t know exactly how to spell it. Immediately after the answer is pronounced on the recording he must pass the paper to the next person in his group. It’s important not to hesitate because the recording will continue.

Person #2 records his answer and so on until each person in the group has had a go. At this point, stop the recording and the last person in each group brings the paper back up to the first person who can look over all of the answers written by his group members. He can make any changes he wants to make to anyone’s answer BUT STUDENTS CANNOT SPEAK A WORD TO EACH OTHER.

He then passes the paper back down the row and everyone gets a chance to change either his own or another group member’s answer. They should move fast though because here’s the catch, the first group to turn in a 100% accurate paper to the teacher wins that round!

Want your Spanish students to learn about Day of the Dead , but  reading comprehension is getting boring in your Spanish class?  Turn it into a game!  This mystery-solving reading about Día de Muertos  goes from dull to exciting as students work together and move around the room to solve a mystery!  This is a simple “print and go” with no work for the teacher!  

   Students investigate with Maria, a young person from Mexico, while she tries to understand more about a former member of her town.  He visits the townspeople all year, not just during Día de Muertos.  Why can’t he rest in peace?   While they read the parts, they are also looking for “code words”.  Students record the code words on a special answer sheet that will eventually lead them to solving the mystery of how/why he died.   It’s so much fun! 

    After, you can decide which of the 4 follow-up activities you want to do with your students.  There are 4; a True or False Activity to check for basic comprehension, a graphic organizer for students to learn more about the specific items related to Day of the Dead, a “tell me in your own words” activity,  and a writing follow up where students use their reading comprehension and critical thinking to invent an explanation for who this lost soul was and why he died the way he did.  Answer key to the True/False is also included.  Best of all?  If there’s something you’d like to change for your students, you are free to edit!

The reading cards are written in English for your Novice classes.  The questions are written in English and answers will be in English as well.  The instructions and mission are written in English.  Students get the benefit of learning about a cultural event while using teamwork!
